What would have had ALPA do? The CAL pilots asked for ALPA representation and it was the CAL pilots that made the decision to declare their SCABS were in good standing. You can't blame ALPA - it's the responsibility of the local MEC.
The CAL pilots had an in-house Union for years after the strike. Over the past 5 years untold time and money have been spent trying to correct the errors of an uncontrolled Union and a management that imposed their will without consideration of their contract. We still see this through the number of greviences and a management not willing to honor our contract. I'll stay with ALPA.
